Also carry a cell phone and promise your mom that you'll call her regularly. [ lalacraziness's advice column | Ask lalacraziness A Question ]

Or, just have your friend give you her father's phone number so your mom can talk to him about all of this, and then see if she feels secure with you in the car with him, then. He'll understand why she's being so curious and worried and everything - he's ( obviously ) a parent too, so that might work out good.
Also, if you're getting picked up at your house, which I believe you are, then why not just have your mother wait outside for them with you, and then whenever they come, your mother can walk over to the car with you and meet them and have a quick talk with the father, and get to know eachother so once again, she can feel more secure about the whole situation.
Once she meets the father and everything, she'll be less worried. My mom's always worried about me whenever I go out with people she doesn't know, because she doesn't know what that person does or how that person acts and she doesn't know how good or bad the father drives, I would be worried too, if my kid was in the hands of strangers.
